American Classical Mahogany Sideboard

ca. 1820-1830, school of Anthony Quervelle, Philadelphia, of double-pedestal drop-center form, the mirrored back flanked by cornucopia-carved brackets, the central marble top over a work slide retaining its period oilcloth work surface, a molded drawer and convex fan-carved door below, flanked by pedestals with a drawer over a paneled door, each flanked by columns with carved capitals, on foliate-carved and turned feet.
h. 59-1/2", w. 73", d. 23"

In very good polished and restored condition. The piece exhibits normal minor mars, shrinkage, minor past veneer repairs and indications of age and use. The finish appears to be an old, presumably original, finish that has been cleaned and polished. Retains an old oilcloth surface on the slide. There is a scrub to one of the capitals flanking the mirror. The mirror exhibits some irregularities in its silvering. There is a filled shrinkage crack to the top of each pedestal. Retains old locks. There is a functional key for the two pedestal doors. Minor flakes to the edge of the apparently original marble top.
